  Quote

"On August 30 Shed will release The Traveller, his second artist album for Ostgut Ton. It’s a more subtle and perhaps more confident record than Shedding The Past,

taking in austere dub minimalism (‘The Bot’), gauzy ambient interludes (‘STP 2′), imperious acid techno (‘My R-Class’), and, on closing track ‘Leave Things’, a kind of scuffed,

ecstatic jungle reminiscent of Aphex Twin’s ‘Polynomial-C’. FACT’s Kiran Sande called up Pawlowitz in Berlin to discuss the LP, and the unlikely debt it owes to the Pet Shop Boys…"

^ Get over it.

Looking forward to hearing this, although for some reason I couldn't get into Shedding The Past.

I loved Shedding the Past and have high hopes for this. Along with Klock these two are making the best techno around at the moment.

goodness - this is fan fu fucking tastic

Shed does not mess around. great album!

pretty good

shedding the past was SO GOOD i have high hopes. i'll be finding out shortly i suppose.

jus givn this it's first full go - gonna take a bit of time to wrap my ears round

i like it more than shedding the past, it's really quite good. way up high on my best of this year list.

keep time

Brilliant album!

i think i like it a little less, but still very good. i wish he'd release a compilation of all his random 12"s under different names. some of that stuff is incredible.

It was alright, but I wasn't exactly wowed by it.

In related news; Washed Out - Belong came on right afterwards, and that shit is HOT!

Holy shit as I figured, this could be album of the year. This is the kind of techno Ive been dreaming for

it really is just that good - a crap load of competition this years far as album of the year - but well up on the list

Absolutely sublime and an album that you'll need and want to listen to 10+ times at least. Shed & Ben Klock are far and away the brightest lights in techno at the moment. Kinda wish Klock got as much praise though.

I think Ben Klock does get enough praise, just perhaps not on this website. Lets not forget Dettmann too...
